I take Miramax every other day. It doesn't cause cramping and helps relieve Constipation

Smooth Move herbal tea is the schits:) (Literally!!!) Very gentle, but works! Sold almost everywhere...Walmart and Target have it...in the herbal teas. I was a skeptic...it made me a believer:)

Looks like this:

I had really BAD Constipation week 3. I waited 7 days until the pain was unbearable. Worse experience of my life. Surgeon recommended Miralax. Went to er and sent me home to do a fleet enema. I was scared to do it but so glad i did because it was the only thing that worked. Now if i dont go by second day i take a dose of miralax. But now that im staying consistent with fluids and incorporating more solid foods i dont have any problems and go almost daily. Hope this helps. My biggest advice is dont wait more than 3 days to do something about it.

I've had bad Constipation almost my whole life, I finally started adding a stool softener every day with my Vitamins that way I don't forget to take it. Has anyone tried Vivensce , I think that's what it's called.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
